City Council Diverts Time From Budget in Special Session
City Council held a special session to finish the 1928 budget but delayed most items. Two unsettled measures were approved: a $200 park commission appropriation and a $3,000 water main extension to Acorn Manufacturing with a 10 percent annual guarantee from Acorn. The extension would net the city about 150 annually, offset by other water-user credits. The plan drew concern over setting a precedent for county water provision without guarantees.
